IQ test : The ability to smile

That time again fellow pupsters!

Test Four : The ability to smile

You'll just need to bring a hooman

• You should be within a couple of metres of your hooman
• Do not freak out as they stare at you for a few seconds before suddenly smiling at you
• Now the trick here is to wag your tail and run towards them (or away from them if they look totally scary!)

Results

• You manage to ignore that bit of spinach stuck in their teeth and run towards them, wagging your tail frantically : PASS
• You acknowledge their grin but can't spare the time out of your busy schedule to go to them : MUST TRY HARDER
• What the dickens??? They look scary!!! Run away or do nothing : FAIL

My results/my opinion : So the test is supposed to be done when you are relaxed and with no distractions, doing this outside and 'staged' was not the best place I guess. I 'failed' the test as I didn't think anything of my hooman smiling at me ...

Lou's Review

Halloween Special

Poundland PetPlace Squeaky Dog Toy

What is it?

A hollow vinyl dog toy shaped like a pumpkin (other designs include bat, monster and ghost) with a squeaker.

What was it like?

Who can resist a squeaker? I chomped this up within minutes to kill the squeak and have not touched it since.

Would you buy it again?

I would, and have, brought one of the other designs!

Mist the point?

The deer are rutting (I dunno what that means but my hooman insisted it was exciting enough to drag me out in the early morning to hear the stags 'bark' ... I thought it was only dogs that barked)

We headed to the park where the mist still laid heavy in the distance

We slowly walked around the boundary where we soon saw the deer and a couple of stags on the opposite side to the fence.

Now my hooman got already to get this stag jumping the fence ... but as she looked down to adjust the settings ... that stag chose that moment to rejoin the herd!!!

I think he had a great sense of humour!!!

IQ test : Food under cover

Test Three

You'll need a towel, a treat and your hooman

• You need to sit down while your hooman waves a treat under your nose, do not snatch it yet as this is all part of the test. Just think of something else. Squirrels?
• Stay sat down and watch your hooman place the treat on the ground and then try to look interested while they 'hide' it beneath the towel. Oh where has it gone?!?
• When your hooman starts to make 'encouraging' noises at you, this is YOUR cue to go and retrieve the 'hidden' treat. Grab the towel between your teeth and lift it off OR scratch at it with your paws until the treat is exposed. Don't forget speed is of the essence.

Results

• You manage to get the treat in under 15 seconds : PASS
• Hey this game is fun, oh I'm being timed? I forgot! : MUST TRY HARDER
• Hey hooman, I'm not playing this game ... I dunno why my hooman can't be more intelligent and just hand the treat over to me! : FAIL

Soggy bottom!!!

Our summer seems to have come to an end, with the weather taking a definite autumnal feel and it has rained on and off for the past few days, today we experienced thunder so I was taken out for a walk before it rained again.

Here I am, sitting on the wet grass getting a soggy bottom although as it happened, the rain stayed off and the sun came out!

Soggy bottoms are synonymous with The Great British Bake Off which airs tonight ...

it is the final bake off and a time to settle down and drool at the delicious concoctions they create!

Yummy!
